The Ott, the Sanford, the Zingalli

Crown won't win the Ott.  I think it is evident the judges don't favor what's happening there this summer.

I would say that the judges are very receptive to what Carolina is doing in brass. They were 2nd last night. Not exactly bad. They have a fantastic brass section year in and year out and this year is no different. I love their brass line. I just think Blue Devils have a slight edge in sound, demand, content (especially in terms of variety of styles). That's all. BD is fantastic and Crown is fantastic...and frankly so are many of the brass lines. BD has not won brass since 2014 so it's nice to see them bringing that big, polished brass sound back to the field. Judges don't favor anything, they are simply looking at content, demand, musicality, and overall performance that night. Crown has done well this summer. By no means is Carolina a bad brass line...in fact they are freaking awesome.

Agree with this almost 100%........judges DEFINITELY do play favorites 😂 Unfortunately, DCI politics have been alive for a long time now.

We wouldn’t say that Crown has dominated the Ott for this long simply because the judges play favorites, would we? I’d rather say that Crown deserved it every time.
